I want to keep the current head unit that i have and I'm probably going to get a CD changer put in. The bit I'm having problems with, is what should i do to improve the sound quality, i...

    Engine Sound Deadening.....

    ive just had a look at Beaker's latest photos and i noticed that he's removed his sound deadening layer from underneath the bonnet....... how many of you have done this and does this make much difference to noise levels from outside the car?

    Wife just got an fr tdi at weekend. Great little car, she loves it already and can't wait to ditch the company ford focus. Only issue is high speed road noise from rear. Has anyone put sound proofing in theirs. What? Where?
  7. Does this sound right?

    Hi all, on Monday eve my diagnostic engine light came. The car ran perfect as it did without the light on so I eliminated a coil pack failure. When I got home I got straight onto this site and did a search and it showed that it could be the water temp sensor. I booked it into the SEAT...

    Strange sound at crawling speed

    I've noticed this before, but I'd forgotten about it as it has to be quiet to hear it and I usually have my stereo on. When crawling along in first gear - sat in traffic, clutch foot right up, and just easing the accelerator to move along. As soon as I lift off the accelerator I get this...

    Cheap Sound proofing

    Hi, just intalled sub, amp and 6x9's in my Mk Ibiza TDi and while the panels are off i'm looking to to some sound proofing, on a tight budget tho. I have heard good and bad things about flashing tape, not too convinced that it will make much of a difference. Would flashing tape along with...

So I'm looking at getting some proper stuff. I'm mainly bothered about the boot/rear seat floor, and...
  19. Disappointing sound after upgrading to Alpine H/U. Advice?

    I've always been perfectly happy with my standard head unit (the Aura one) but I've always wanted to be able to connect my iPod. At first I was gonna go with a Dension lead but I decided to change the head unit to the Alpine 9850ri so that I could have full control of me pod! Since installing...
